About 5 Up, from BoardGameGeek:

UNIQUE DICE GAME: Up the stakes at your next game night with 5 Up from TOMY Games. Victory is just a dice throw away in this risky 2 to 4 player game that has players race to get rid of all their tokens by landing the dice on the coveted 5 Up side. PUSH YOUR LUCK: Unzip and unfold the pouch to reveal the game mat. Each player starts with 10 tokens. Roll the dice and whatever number you get, place a token on the corresponding number on the mat. If you roll a 5 Up, you get to discard a token. Roll as many times as you dare on your turn, but if you get a number that already has a token on it, you'll have to take all the tokens on the mat! First to run out of tokens wins. PERFECT FAMILY GAME: Designed for ages 6 and older, 5 Up is quick and easy to learn and can be enjoyed by mixed age groups of kids, teens, and adults, making this a fantastic pick for family game nights and gatherings with friends. PORTABLE TRAVEL GAME: This good value, versatile 2 to 4 player board game conveniently folds up into a soft, compact pouch that's perfect to pack in a bag for on the go entertainment in trains, planes, pubs, restaurants, and on holidays. WHAT YOU GET: Please note this is one game only and the colour pouch you receive may vary - it will either be green or orange. -description from the publisher
